Friction

What is Friction?
Friction is the force that happens when two things rub together.

Where is friction useful?
We need friction to move about.

Where is friction not useful?
When it causes wear and tear.

How do we reduce friction?
One way is to replace sliding with rolling. Other ways is to use air cushions and by streamlining.

♥♥♥RUBEN WIKI♥♥♥

This is my concern,

I am a Students at the Northern most
school in New Zealand called Te Hapua School.
We are 6 hours away from Auckland.

My 4 Students and I are go on an
educational trip to watch you's
play a home game.

How can I go there well,
we has been a long hard week of
fundraising and working towards
going to Auckland to watch the Warriors.

We hope you will support us by letting us
watch you’s play a home game.The benefits
we will get from you’s are watching awesome
role models, watching the way you’s play and
sitting with a crowd full of people.

also I would like to say thanks to Ruben Wiki for
getting us some free tickets to watch you.

It will be great and awesome experence to watch you.

Thanks Pinia Lazarus - Spicer

KAITAIA COLLEGE
Every Friday we go to Kaitaia College and we have to catch the school bus at 6:30am it is a long way. We have to do work and activities in class with the teachers. We are learning about algebra in Maths with Mr Yates and then we go to the library to choose a book and read it. We will be questioned about it by Matua Teimana. We go and do music with Uncle Bundy. After that we have science with Mr Bryan. We are learning about the good, the bad and the yucky. Every afternoon I go and visit Tom Besson to have speech therapy.
WHAKAWHITI ORA PAI
Every Tuesday we have cooking down the marae or at the school with Whaea Sheridan and Whaea Lenny who worked for Whakawhiti Ora Pai. We waited for Whaea Sheridan and Whaea Lenny to come and tell us what we are making today. Last week we made pickle, rice pudding, and nachos. We have also made pikelets, pancakes, soup and cupcakes. Whaea Lenny and Whaea Sheridan are going to make a new cookbook for 2007. We are learnng to make healthy meals on a low budget.
MUSIC
We have music with Uncle Bundy.
We are learning A, G, F, D, C, E and Minor keys. We have to listen to the music together and sing the songs on the paper. After that we have to go to a class next to Uncle Bundy's and sing and play our instruments in front of some other students on the stage.
KAPA HAKA
Our teachers for Kapa Haka are Aunty Sandra and Papa Chris Henare
we have kapa haka every fortnight. We have to listen to Sandra and Papa Chris sing the song first and then we repeat it. We have to stand up and be confident to sing the songs on the whiteboard without looking. Sometimes it's hard for the boys and new girls to learn the songs. All of the wharekura, Te Ngai and Waaka went to Cape Reinga for Kapa Haka and sang to support Muriwhenua.

♥♥♥♥SPORTS♥♥♥♥


My Favourite Sport is netball, the team I play for is Aupouri.

I like netball because I am good at it but it is hard work. The positions I play are Wing Defense and Wing Attack.

My favourite player is Temepara George who plays for the Silver Ferns and Northern Force team. I like her because she was a famous for netball. She is a fast runner and quick at passing.
